While we all know the British royal family are bound by strict rules and exacting protocol, it turns out an ancient rule means the legal custody of Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three, and three-month-old Prince Louis is bestowed upon someone else.

“This goes back to King George I [who ruled in the early 1700s], and the law’s never been changed. He did it because he had a very poor relationship with his son, the future King George II, so they had this law passed that meant the King was the guardian of his grandchildren.”
